Which is Better: Dealership Mechanics vs. Independent Shops

Many people try to find the best deal possible when their cars need repairs or maintenance. There are many options available to Canton-area drivers but it’s hard for some people to find a shop that they can trust. Many of our customers ask us which is better, dealership mechanics or independent shops. While both shops can service your car back to new, it all depends on what you want to do to your car and how much you’re willing to wait or pay. 

At Victory Chevrolet, our Milan service center is popular among our customers because we provide the very best OEM parts and service that you won’t easily find at other locations. Check out our parts center. From oil and fluid changes to battery and brake replacement, we can do it all for you at our Brighton-area dealership. Contact or visit us for more information today!

Dealership Service Centers

Now, while most people may think that they can get great service and pay less for it at independent shops, this may not be the case. Our Toledo, OH-area service center, like others, can be a little more pricey than independent shops for several reasons, such as:

• We use OEM car parts that are perfect for you Chevy or Buick model
• We specialize in basic maintenance such as tire and oil changes, tire rotations, and more!
• An experienced technician who knows how to properly repair your vehicle is working on it. 

Independent Shops

Independent shops are great if you’re looking for a quick auto fix, that’s why they’re more crowded than our Saline-area service center. Apart from taking on a heavier load of customers, independent shops use universal parts rather than OEM parts because their clients are looking to save money rather than get what’s best for their vehicles. This is the biggest difference between dealership mechanics and independent shops.
